Re: LIS printing troubles OSHA form

[NEDOLPH@AOL.COM]

There is a different - perhaps better - way...

Can you get the form - blank with nothing in it - as an MS word document? AND
are you using an HP LaserJet Model III or later?

If so, you can load this blank form directly into the printer one time and it
will persist until you turn the printer off.

Then feed just the data which will fill the form in to the lis file with an
extra line of HP code to "Overlay" the form on the data before it ejects the
page and goes on to the next record.

Each data element must be positioned x to the left and y down (absolute) with
each print command, but once you do it, it will stay done.

If this has any appeal as an Idea, I can go into the details of how to
convert the OSHA form as word document to HP LaserJet Stored template. and
help you work out the HP Overlay Code string.

All best,
